Last week I decided to grow Musa velutina from seed. I also started a variety called cheesmanii from seed Wednesday. I have a Blood banana and an Ice Cream banana (possibly Namwah) This year it hardly grew, even though I kept it well watered. Does anyone do anything special to get their bananas to grow? In Spring, I added plenty of composted cow manure. I've been giving it Miracle Gro tomato fertilizer because it has the highest amount of potassium I could find.
